Post workout shake and nighttime shake look ok, as does ZMA before the bedtime shake. Cut back on that vitamin C (why not eat fruit?), and take more fish oil.

Hey, there, xvsanta42! Long time, no speak. (grin)
I like the fact that you’re not taking a one-a-day multi-vitamin. The ones taken in divided doses 2 or 3 times a day are a lot more effective. Be sure to always take it with food. Take one dose in your largest meal of the day and the other in the meal after your workout.
Chromium Picolinate is to improve insulin sensitivity. You’re spot on with the dosage. There are a lot of studies that show benefit to supplementation with chromium picolinate, so it’s probably a good investment, though you do get chromium picolinate in your diet if you’re eating broccoli and cheese.
I like how you have your Vitamin C spaced out, too! I can tell you’ve done some reading on how to maximize the effectiveness of your supps! (grin) I also like to see Vitamin C used PWO. Vitamin C is an antoioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. Working out, of course, increases the number of free radicals.
Are you having problems with your joints, xvsanta42? As far as the glucosamine goes, the glucosamine HCl is the version that is more available to the body. What dosage are you taking? Most studies were done with 1500mg per day in 3 divided doses.
I like how you’re using your protein powder, too! All around good regimen, xvsanta42!!!
Diet isn’t bad, xvsanta42. I don’t know what your goals are, but independent of goals, I’d like to see you get more fruit and veggies and beans in your diet and also some olive oil.
Pretty good job all the way around, xvsanta42!!! (grin)

I didnt get a square number for mg (thats what it says in the back)
Ill def take your advice as to fruits and veggies, I need to incorporate that into my diet better…Question when should i eat fruits…before and after workouts? Since its high in glucose…and veggies spaced out during the day?
I am also thinking about incorporating the following into my supplement list
Biotest Branched Chain Amino Acids, 250 tablets
Grow! WHEY Premium Quality Protein (I ran out of whey)
Micronized German Creatine, 500 g
ZMA Anabolic Mineral Support
What do you think?
Thanks again for taking out the time to go over this with me Tampa-Terry, I just want to get to my goal as soon as possible…Trying to do a clean bulk up to 200 lbs, and I am at 185 now.
Cheers.
By the way Im italian, I love to add olive oil to just about every meal. haha
